University of Manitoba Ukrainian Students' Association

Hello fellow SUSK members! The University of Manitoba Ukrainian Students’ Association had a very busy start to the 2019- 2020 school year. We started off the fall term by taking part in University of Manitoba’s Clubs Fest, where student groups can engage with a variety of students, actively recruit new members, and promoting upcoming events. It was a successful event and an excellent way to follow up with our meet and greet introducing our incoming Executive team, as well as socializing with our existing and new members.

In October we held a Zabava, bringing together students with the greater Ukrainian community in Winnipeg. We had a smaller turn out than expected, but regardless, it was filled with lots of food and dancing!

For Holodomor commemoration week, we spread awareness to fellow students and staff by holding a booth with various education materials. We also held a viewing of the Holodomor documentary called “Genocide Revealed” by Yurij Luhovy to further spread awareness and educate others.

To welcome students back after the holidays, we held our Annual Perogy Lunch at St. Andrew’s College. With our cheap price of $3 per plate, we had a busy lunch hour filled with many students and staff coming to enjoy the delicious perogies made by the incredible staff at St. Andrew’s College.

Our last event of the year ended up being our movie night, showing the comedy "Скажене Весілля." It was a great way to relax and relieve some stress around midterm season. Sadly, we weren’t able to execute some other fun events and activities we had planned for the rest of the school year due to COVID-19, but we’re thrilled for some of the upcoming events we have coming up in 2020-21.
